While in Las Vegas on vacation, the man got a call that no pet owner wants to get.
Marady said he was told that Josie was mauled to death by an Animal Protectors shelter pit bull named Zara.
Marady said the animals had been left unsupervised in a play area out back. A worker reportedly told attorneys that Josie was in the pit bull’s mouth when she was found.

“We specifically asked if they would be supervised and separated, and they assured us they would be,” said Marady.
Tail Wags N’ At’s attorney Mark Eck said, “The unfortunate death of the dog was a real tragedy for the owners of Tail Wags who have already reached an agreement on compensating the owner for his loss.
"This could all have been avoided if the folks who delivered the offending dog Zara and who are from Animal Protectors of Allegheny Valley had provided proper information about the dog’s behavior."
